Chapter 29 The real murderer
The group went back and forth, and when they returned to Changyin Building again, the boss was standing anxiously at the door looking around. When he saw Li Ying leading the crowd back, his face was overjoyed, and he rushed forward: "Oh girl, you But it’s finally here! If you are later, I can’t guarantee that not a single fly will fly out.”

Li Ying said in a low voice: "Look, the lord came here in person, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Where is it, how dare you doubt the girl?" The boss nodded and bowed, rushing to compliment.

Li Ying imitated Xiao Lian's way of speaking, straightened her back, and said in a deep voice: "Is everyone in there?"

"Yes, I will lead you in, little one."

I saw that the Changyin Building, which was still full of people half an hour ago, was now empty, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Under the empty stage, there were dozens of servant girls standing in Changyin Building, all of them looked uneasy, and they didn't know what happened. The boss ordered them to stand here and not go anywhere, without saying a word. , one stop is half an hour.

Li Ying glanced at the restless crowd, and calmly asked in front of everyone: "Boss, let me ask you, on weekdays, when Mr. Cao comes to our theater to listen to plays, how is your alcohol tolerance?"

"This..." The boss recalled for a while: "Cao Shizi usually comes with three or two friends. According to the five or two pots of Yuquan wine here, I can drink six or seven pots every time. , but Cao Shizi's personal drinking capacity is hard to say for such a small one."

Li Ying asked: "Then can I ask those people who often associate with the crown prince?"

"Who knows if they will collude and cover up this person?" Qin Chuan was the first to refuse.

It's fine if Qin Chuan doesn't agree, Cao Wenxiang himself also has an opinion: "You are not allowed to go! Damn, I feel angry when I talk about those turtle grandsons. When I was in the scenery, I greeted each other with smiles. Now I am just a temporary hand." There is no money in it, well, I can’t even see a person. What kind of shit friends, I can see clearly, they are just a bunch of villains who don’t show loyalty!"

Li Ying and Xiao Lian looked at each other, so, then this road is completely dead.

Xiao Lian cast his eyes on the servant girls who were whispering not far away. If there was really a poisoner, trying to find out that "rat" among so many people would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Boss, do these people have a roster?"

"Yes, take a look." The boss had been prepared for a long time, and handed over the roster, which was densely written with a certain person, who entered the Changyin Building in a certain year and a certain month, whether he was responsible for cleaning or serving tea and water, and recorded it one stroke at a time. very detailed.

Xiao Lian frowned slightly as he looked at the roster.

"Is there anyone new in the past two months?"

"Yes, here, those two." The boss pointed to a man and a woman standing not far away.

Xiao Lian looked at the list and found that the two were husband and wife. They entered the Changyin Building in August. The husband was in charge of some repairs and hard work in the garden, while the wife was in charge of serving wine and food to the guests.

"Call them over for questioning."

"Yes."

"The two of you are originally from Yongjia, why did you come to the capital?"

When the couple saw this battle, they were so frightened that they stuttered: "My lord, spare me! The little... The little one is definitely a good citizen. The little one originally had half an acre of Susukida, which could be used for food, but due to the continuous heavy rain, Susukita was also flooded at that point. The two of us were really poor, so we thought it would be better to come to the capital for a break."

If you are poor, you have a motive to commit crimes.

"Where do they live?"

"Master, it's right there, the one in the south." The boss pointed to a short house in the distance.

"Go and search."

"My lord, this, this, this... what the hell is going on, we husband and wife have been diligent and diligent, and we have never done anything that violated the law of the king!" The man stomped his feet anxiously.

"Empty words have no basis, whether there is any evil, there is evidence to prove it."

Soon, Gao Wei returned with a small porcelain vase in his left hand and two ingots of gold in his right hand.

"My lord, these two suspicious items were found in his room for two."

Xiao Lian opened the bottle cap, poured out the powder, sniffed it in his hands, and said, "It's Mihun San, which can make people hallucinate."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Wenxiang kicked the man and scolded, "You are the one who killed me! I have no grievances or enmity with you, yet you actually poisoned me!"

The man was kicked into the air, his wife rushed to help him, seeing the man was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, she wailed heartbrokenly: "God, if we really did it, we will kill our children and grandchildren. die!"

Cao Wenxiang snorted angrily, "Who wouldn't say such a thing?"

Xiao Lian glanced at the knife and signaled Cao Wenxiang not to cause trouble. When the man got better, he asked, "Tell me, how did this thing come from?"

The man kept knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and he replied, "I don't know, I really don't know! I have never seen any Mihunsan, let alone those two ingots of gold! If the gold is Ours, we have already returned to our hometown to enjoy our old age, my lord has learned..."

"If I hadn't ordered none of you to go out, you might have escaped and ate the inside and outside!" The boss scolded.

The two couldn't argue with each other, so they had to hug each other and cry.

Xiao Lian and Gao Wei whispered a few words, and then said: "Take these two people back to the Sanju Division together with the evidence. Boss, please go to the Sanju Division as a witness."

The boss showed hesitation, Xiao Lian said: "If this case is not settled, I'm afraid Changyin Building will not be able to operate as usual."

"Success, listen to your lord."

"The rest of you are waiting, let's go back first, I can't stand up to so many people." Xiao Lian said, Qin Chuan's two book friends and Cao Wenzhi brothers and sisters were politely invited away, leaving Li Ying He and Xiao Lian stared with big eyes.

Xiao Lian tilted his head slightly, as if saying, "You go back too."

Li Ying pretended not to see it, and deliberately raised her head to look at the sky, meaning: "I don't."

Xiao Lian clenched his hands into fists and pressed his mouth to "cough cough" twice, implying her: "Be obedient."

Li Ying turned her head away and expressed her refusal again.

Xiao Lian had no choice but to bring six people to the three courts to continue the trial.

This time, the sun has set.Sitting alone in the carriage, Li Ying rubbed her empty stomach, thinking that today Ben and Xian'er could eat a "Wei Xian Lou" beggar's chicken, she was so greedy that her saliva almost flowed out. His stomach made a "goo-" sound as if in protest.

I just hope that the trial of this case can be concluded soon and Qin Chuan will be given an explanation.Just as Li Ying was thinking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a big hand, revealing Xiao Lian's handsome side face like a sculpture.

"hungry?"

Did he hear this from across the carriage... It's shameful, Li Ying blushed secretly, and then gave a soft "hmm".

"I called you back, but you are disobedient. What do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Li Ying said with some embarrassment: "I want to eat the beggar's chicken from Weixianlou."

The corner of Xiao Lian's mouth twitched and he said "wait" before disappearing.

When the carriage was almost at the Sanfa Division, Li Ying heard a rush of horseshoes coming towards her.She got off the carriage and saw that Xiao Lian was carrying two whole food boxes in his hands.

"You bought so much?"

"Go to the backyard to eat, quietly, don't let people see, or they will be hungry."

Li Ying obediently said "Oh", and walked across the door of the courtroom towards the backyard like a thief.

Xiao Lian let out a breath, and finally coaxed him away.

Next, he still has a tough battle to fight.

The sky was dark, candles were already lit in the Sanfasi yamen, and Xiao Lian was sitting on the high platform, with Zhu Chong and Gao Wei on both sides.In the audience were Yin Shi, the owner of Changyinlou, Mrs. Xu and his wife, Qin Chuan and Cao Wenxiang.

"Hurry up, hurry up and prove that Grandpa is innocent, Grandpa's stomach is empty, he's about to starve to death!"

"Crack!" Xiao Lian used the gavel again, he didn't use it as much as this day in a whole month, "Silence."

Cao Wenxiang put his hands on his chest impatiently, shaking his legs.Qin Chuan looked contemptuous when he saw his bum-like appearance.

"Mrs. Xu, you two took money from others and drunk Cao Wenxiang's soul into the wine, causing him to have hallucinations and conflicts with Qin Chuan. Can you plead guilty?" Zhu Chong asked sharply.

The Xu couple's faces were ashen, and they kept muttering and repeating: "We haven't done it, we haven't done it..."

"My lord trusts you." Xiao Lian said suddenly, "The real poisoner is someone else."

When the Xu couple heard the words, their eyes burst into brilliance: "My lord, is what you said true?"

At the same time, a cold light flashed in Yin's eyes, showing a vigilant look.

"Don't panic, this king will definitely give you a chance to defend yourself before you are convicted." Xiao Lian lowered his head and turned to Yin, showing a chilling smile.

Yin asked knowingly, "I don't know what the prince means?"

"Yin Shi, when Ben Wang checked the roster just now, he found that the paper was still new and the handwriting on it was very new. Tell me, what's going on?"

"My lord misunderstood, it was copied overnight by the villain to prevent the pages from turning yellow."

"Oh? Knowing that the king of Japan is coming to investigate the case today, why did you drive out overnight?"

"That's right, how could it be such a coincidence..." Yin Shi was still dead.

"Then tell me again, what's the matter with the powder on these boots?" Xiao Lian motioned Zhu Chong to pick up the boot found in Yin's room. I can't see it at all.

"This king has compared it. This is Mihun powder. Yin, can you explain why Mihun powder is sprinkled on your boots?"

Yin's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Are you searching for me?"

Xiao Lian fiddled with the two ingots of gold in his hands, and said, "It's so easy for me to find out the suspicious person, and put the evidence in the crack of the bricks in his two-person room. Boss Yin, what are you doing?" I'm afraid I won't see it."

That Yin's complexion changed for a moment, and he wanted to argue again, but he didn't know where to start. After a while, he said: "So, you doubted me from the beginning?"

"To be precise, this king suspected you when you handed over the roster graciously. There was a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the theater, and some of them left after working for three or two days. Fortunately, you not only specially made the roster, but As soon as Wang asked for it, he couldn't wait to present it. Boss Yin, aren't you just adding to the snake?"

Yin Shi pursed her lips and remained silent, he didn't expect Xiao Lian to be so careful.

"Yin Shi, was born in Shi'an County in the third year of Deqing. If my king remembers correctly, that is the hometown of Hua Guogong's wife."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yin yelled, and pulled out a short blade from his boots with lightning speed, and took Qin Chuan, who was closest to him, as a hostage.

Xiao Lian, Zhu Chong and Gao Wei rushed down from the high platform to protect the innocent couple behind their backs. Cao Wenxiang stood a foot away from the Yin family, and was caught in a dilemma.

Xiao Lian lowered his face and said, "Let go of him, I will give you a way out."

"Survival? I will fight by myself! Open the door and I will prepare the horse, otherwise I will cut his throat with a knife!"

Where has Qin Chuan seen such a battle?He closed his eyes tightly in fright, not daring to move, for fear that the blade would scratch his flesh.

"This king prepares the horse for you, so you let him go?"

"Once I get out of the capital safely, I will let him go."

"Okay, I promise you. Gao Wei, go and lead the horse."

Gao Wei hesitated: "My lord, this..."

"This king tells you to go, and you go!"

"Yes!"

Gao Wei raised his hands high, indicating that he would not harm the Yin family. He passed by the Yin family and Qin Chuan, and walked towards the door.

At the moment Yin Shi turned her head to see if Gao Wei really went to open the door and lead the horse, Xiao Lian shouted: "Cao Wenxiang!!!"

In the blink of an eye, Cao Wenxiang took off from the spot a foot away, kicked Yin Shi fiercely to the ground with a flying kick.

Gao Wei and Zhu Chong attacked back and forth, subduing Yin's body to the ground.

"Xiao Lian, you son of a bitch!" Yin cursed while struggling on the ground.

"Win the king and lose the bandit, Yin family, you are too immature."

On the other side, Qin Chuan, who was rescued by Cao Wenxiang, lost his leg and fell into the chair. He was gasping for breath, just when Cao Wenxiang kicked towards Yinshi, and Yinshi's cold short blade was embedded in his skin. , he really almost thought he was going to die, but luckily only left a shallow scratch.

"Cao Wenxiang, you almost killed me!" Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed.

"Damn it, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart, I tried my best to save you, but you still turn around and scold me?"

"Bang bang bang", Qin Chuan was about to refute, when there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Lian, what happened inside?" Li Ying called anxiously from outside the locked door.God knows, she was enjoying the delicacies of Weixianlou with relish, when in the middle of eating, she suddenly heard fighting and shouting from the courtroom.

"Nothing, don't come in." Xiao Lian replied from inside the door.

When Xiao Lian said this, Li Ying was even more worried, but she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only stand outside the door and listen carefully to the movement inside.

After Zhu Chong and Gao Wei completely subdued the Yin family, Xiao Lian signaled Cao Wen to open the door.The Yin family is dangerous and needs to be interrogated in prison.

Everyone's attention was on Yin Shi who was hysterical on the ground, and they didn't notice that there was still a person standing outside the door, but Yin Shi saw the woman's figure.

Hmph, when this woman asked her to surround the theater, she kept claiming that she was Princess Zhongqin's servant girl, but he could clearly see that she was Princess Zhongqin herself.This couple made him miserable!
Yin Shi showed a sinister expression, just when Zhu Chong and Gao Wei dragged him across the threshold, Yin Shi, who had no intention of resisting at first, suddenly went crazy, and rushed towards the position where Li Ying was standing with all his strength. past!
Li Ying saw the theater owner who looked like a mad dog rushing straight towards her, but her feet seemed to be tied to a boulder, and she couldn't move for a while.

"Yingying——" Xiao Lian shouted her name from behind Yin's back, and then with a "swoosh", a long sword pierced Yin's heart from behind.

Li Ying watched in horror as Yin Shi fell straight down a step away from her, with his hands still raised towards her, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Gradually, the blood that flowed out from his chest was dyed a bright red on the ground...
